X2 scribe Michael Dougherty details his vision for X-Men 3
4 hours ago | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Screenwriter Michael Dougherty has given more details about the ideas he had suggested to Bryan Singer for the third X-Men movie.
Dougherty co-wrote Singer's highly-regarded X2: X-Men United with Dan Harris before all three left the mutant movie series to make Superman Returns.
Fox then hired writers Zak Penn and Simon Kinberg and director Brett Ratner and the result was 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand.
A year ago, I reported on a book called Mutant Cinema: The X-Men Trilogy From Comics to Screen, which included some of Dougherty's ideas for an alternative version of the third film. (Click here to read that earlier article).
Now, in a new interview on Slashfilm to promote the DVD and Blu-ray release of Halloween-themed anthology Trick 'r Treat (pictured), his first directing effort, Dougherty has elaborated on what he wanted to do in the third X-movie had he stayed with the franchise. He speaks on a podcast, »

The Box
23 hours ago | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Directed by: Richard Kelly
Cast: Cameron Diaz, James Marsden, Frank Langella
Running Time: 1 hr 55 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: November 6, 2009
Plot: A financially desperate couple (Diaz, Marsden) is randomly presented with a box – inside the box is a simple red button. However, there is a catch – if they press the button, they will be awarded one million dollars. At the same time, someone in the world that they don’t know will be killed.
Who’S It For? Like the title object’s existence, The Box is a film made for the curious: those curious to see how the Donnie Darko director does with a mainstream budget, or those curious to see how the film should be placed in a list of this year’s bad-funny movies. Fans of psychological thrillers might want to take a gander, but at their own risk.
Expectations: Imagine a trailer that has »

Marsden Too Scared To Perform On Broadway
6 November 2009 11:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
X-men star James Marsden would love to pursue his dream of performing on Broadway - but fears his nerves would get the better of him.
The actor admits treading the boards in New York's famous theatre district is on his list of career goals, but he's too anxious to tackle the feat.
He says, "I would love to do Broadway eventually but I'm absolutely terrified of it. Anything live is hard enough. But it's the flying without a net thing that scares me. If I do it I'd love to do something off, off, off Broadway! For three people!" »
Stan Lee On 'Thor,' 'Micronauts' In IMAX And Danish 'Scott Pilgrim' In Today's Twitter Report
6 November 2009 10:01 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Someone appears to have finally told Stan Lee that Anthony Hopkins will play Odin in "Thor," and he had a thing or two to tweet about it, including what he would like to do in the film when it comes out in 2011. Also on the Marvel movie front, "Iron Man 2" director Jon Favreau expressed dismay over the effect "World of Warcraft" could have on his editing process.
Elsewhere, Bryan Lee O'Malley shared a look at the new Danish-translated "Scott Pilgrim" volume he received, as well as some on-the-fly Google interpretation of Danish. You can find all those tweets after the jump along with Dan Slott on "Micronauts," Jim Lee on the passing of Halloween and a rad custom Mockingbird action figure.

Ian McKellen Talks 'The Hobbit' Script
3 November 2009 12:14 AM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Ian McKellen has finally read the script for "The Hobbit", and he shared that producer Peter Jackson and his co-scribblers, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, have written the Gandalf screenplay specifically for him. The 70-year-old gushed about the matter to Sci Fi Wire while promoting AMC's "The Prisoner".
"As Peter has said, they loved writing Gandalf [for The Hobbit] because they knew who they were writing him for," the actor who will be seen reprising his role as Gandalf said. "There are a lot of characters in The Hobbit including, crucially, Bilbo, and they don't know who's going to play Bilbo. So it's extremely attractive that this part has been written for me."
While being blunt in expressing his feeling toward the script, McKellen was careful enough to not spill any beans. "The other Gandalf was written for, well, just as Gandalf," he went on saying. "There's lots for me to enjoy, in all sorts of ways. »

After The Dark Knight, here come the Dark X-Men...
2 November 2009 7:27 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Marvel Comics' team the X-Men debuted way back in September 1963 and have since evolved into many different line-ups and series, as well as three animated TV shows and a franchise of hit films.
The latest mutation of the enduring superheroes is Dark X-Men, a five-issue miniseries which debuts on November 11.
Written by Paul Cornell and illustrated by Leonard Kirk, the roster consists of Mystique, Dark Beast, Weapon Omega and Mimic.
Mystique is a shapeshifter, who was played in the movies by Rebecca Romijn; Weapon Omega can absorb the energy, personalities and abilities of other mutants, and can fly and fire blasts of energy; Mimic is permanently able to duplicate the powers of the five original X-Men; and Dark Beast is an evil, alternative reality version of the furry, animalistic Beast (who was played in the third X-Men film by Kelsey Grammer).
Dark X-Men first appeared in the recent Dark Reign »

'Marvel Zombies' And Joss Whedon's 'X-Men' To Debut On iPhones
30 October 2009 1:31 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Fans of Marvel Comics won't need to dig through the longboxes at their local comic book store to find some of their old favorites—for some of the company's best stories, all you need is an iPhone.
Marvel has released several new and classic comic book issues from its catalogue by way of Comixology, iVerse and Panelfly, three of the leading distributors of comic books for the iPhone. Among the comics released are the first 25 issues of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's classic "Amazing Spider-Man" run and the entirety of Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's "Astonishing X-Men," which recently debuted as a motion comic book.
While available across Comixology, iVerse and Panelfly, the actual comic book offerings are fairly similar from provider to provider. All three are offering "Age of Apocalypse" #1-6, as well as issues of "Astonishing X-Men."
The greatest deal, however, seems to lie with Panelfly. »

30 October 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Richard Kelly is the man. Not just because he'll be here all this week, posting as a guest editor for MTV Movies Blog. It helps, sure, but we're talking about the guy who made "Donnie Darko" here. And "Southland Tales." Isn't that enough? Not for Kelly it isn't. His latest brain-twisting tale, "The Box," hits theaters on November 6. And he has a dynamite week of content planned for y'all, so sit back and enjoy!

Prince Marsden
Most people know James Marsden as Cyclops from the "X-Men" movies. This is obviously his most high profile role, and it certainly brought him a lot of great opportunities. But the bummer about playing Cyclops is that the audience can’t see your eyes.
There is only so much you can do with a role in which the windows to the soul remain covered for the duration of the film.

Nice Try, David Beckham. You Don't Scare Us

David Beckham couldn't look bad no matter how hard he tried. That said, we really haven't been digging that scraggly beard he's been sporting of late. Thankfully, there's a good explanation. No, it's not some sort of strange soccer ritual—he's just trying to channel Hugh Jackman. "Halloween's coming up and I was thinking of Wolverine from X-Men," he told the U.K.'s Daily Star. "It's not some playoff ritual. I'm just lazy and can't be bothered to shave. And everybody keeps telling me to cut it off and I'm stubborn." With those eyes and abs, the image of Mr. Posh Spice trick-or-treating with sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz is still... »

'Uncharted' Actor Wants Hugh Jackman To Star In Film
30 October 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
Accomplished video game voice actor Nolan North doesn't expect to reprise his role as Nathan Drake in an "Uncharted" feature film adaptation, but that doesn't mean he hasn't considered candidates to take his place. According to North, who played Drake in both "Uncharted" and this month's "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves," Hugh Jackman should be first in line to be Drake in theaters.
"Jackman is who I'd like to see," North told the Official Playstation Magazine UK podcast. "I think the producers would like to see Jackman too, because he has that tough guy exterior."
The doesn't mean North wouldn't like a shot, though. Quite to the contrary, he would love to transition over to the big screen. But he sounded confidently pessimistic about that prospect.
"I’ve done film and television and I understand the reality of the business,” he explained.

David Beckham wants to look like Wolverine!

David Beckham wants to look like Wolverine.
The Los Angeles Galaxy soccer player quashed speculation he has grown a beard out of superstition because his team have reached the play-offs, and has revealed the real reason is because he wants to dress as the mutant Marvel superhero - played by Hugh Jackman in the 'X-Men' films - for Halloween.
The 34-year-old sportsman - who has sons Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, seven, and four-year-old Cruz with his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham - said: "Halloween is coming up and I was thinking of Wolverine from 'X-Men'. It's not some play-off ritual. I'm just lazy and can't be bothered to shave. And everybody keeps telling me to cut it and I'm stubborn."
While David is proud of his beard, he recently topped a poll for having the worst facial hair in showbiz.

50 Influential Scream Queens: Part 1
27 October 2009 5:54 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Given man's unwavering fascination with woman, it's no surprise that the female star acts as the anchor to a dominant portion of horror pictures. I mean really, who wants to see a bare chested man tearin ass through the woods screaming at the top of his lungs while a bladed assailant nips at his heels? I don't - I know that much, although I'm certain there are plenty of men who would disagree (and that's okay with me, to each his own!). The simple fact remains however, women bring a unique appeal and certain sensual atmosphere to film that no man ever could. And it's not all about gratuitous T&A.
There's a comforting quality in the hands of the heroine; a fascinating maternal strength that, as a man I cannot genuinely relate to. I can however admire, and in many cases it's nearly impossible to not admire the lone »

Blu-Ray Review: ‘Trick ‘r Treat’ is Shockingly Tasty Horror Anthology
26 October 2009 12:00 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – From producer Bryan Singer (“X-Men,” “Superman Returns”), “Trick ‘r Treat” is a fantastic horror anthology film that has inexplicably been rolling around the Warner Bros. offices for years, having initially been scheduled for release back in 2007. Finally getting a Halloween-tied Blu-Ray release, this is one of the best straight-to-dvd horror flicks in years, a consistently clever and enjoyable genre entry that will have horror fans screaming in glee this holiday season.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.0/5.0
I will never understand why junk like “The Stepfather” and “Saw VI” get national, heavily-marketed releases but something like “Trick ‘r Treat,” which has won festival awards and been buzzed about since it first started screening, won’t be playing on a screen near you this Halloween. This is one messed-up genre. I think if WB had found a way to market this film, especially with the star power of Anna Paquin coming off “True Blood, »
